    Verifying the OVA using openssl

    You can use openssl to verify the OVA file you downloaded against a signature file (SIG). Replace VERSION with the file's version:

    1. Copy the following public key to a file: 
    -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MFkwEwYHKoZIzj0CAQYIKoZIzj0DAQcDQgAEWZrGCUaJJr1H8a36sG4UUoXvlXvZ
wQfk16sxprI2gOJ2vFFggdq3ixF2h4qNBt0kI7ciDhgpwS8t+/960IsIgw==
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----
    1. Run the following command:
    openssl dgst -verify PATH_TO_PUBLIC_KEY 
-signature SIGNATURE 
-binary OVA

    Expected output of this command is Verified OK .

    Verifying gkectl using openssl

    Verify the gkectl binary against the public key using openssl , where VERSION is the file's version:

    1. Copy the following public key to a file: 
    -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MFkwEwYHKoZIzj0CAQYIKoZIzj0DAQcDQgAEWZrGCUaJJr1H8a36sG4UUoXvlXvZ
